Title: Improvements in and relating to Cleaning Metallic Surfaces.
Inventor: THOMPSON CHARLES HERBERT
IPC: C25F1/00
Filed: 1913-01-01
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 9. Thompson, C. H. Jan. 1. Metals, pickling; cells.-Metal articles to be cleaned by alternating current are separated from the electrodes, for instance by porous or perforated partitions preferably of stoneware or wood, or by perforated porcelain pipes. A wooden or slate vat may have three compartments, the two outer of which contain the electrodes. The articles preferably touch each other, and may be moved continuously or intermittently. The electrolyte contains chlorides, nitrates, sulphates, fluorides, bromides, cyanides or chromates; for cleaning steel hollow - ware for enamelling, it may be made by adding 2 per cent by volume of sulphuric acid to a solution of ammonium alum containing 225 grammes per litre, or to a saturated solution of ammonium or magnesium sulphate. Current with a periodicity of 50 cycles per second may be used, unless the electrodes are more than one metre apart, when the periodicity may be from 10 to 25, an induction frequency-converter or synchronous motor-generator being preferably used in this case. A higher electric pressure than usual may be employed. Specification 3374/12 is referred to.

Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 955. Wattles, L. H. Jan. 13. Systems.-A combined circulating system for marine internal-combustion engines and a bilge ejector comprises a pump 3 driven by an eccentric 5 from the engine shaft 4 and delivering water to the jackets by a pipe 8. A branch 9 leads from the pipe 8 and supplies water to an ejector 10 which sucks bilge-water and gases through a pipe 26 and discharges them through a pipe 27. The flow to the ejector can be regulated by a valve 30 placed on the pipe 8 beyond the branch 9. A valve 34 on the branch 9 allows the supply to the ejector to be entirely shut off without interfering with the circulating system when the ejector is removed.
Patent GB-191303942-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Carburettor for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: WILDERS ALEXANDRE
IPC: F02M19/035
Filed: 1913-02-15
Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 3942. Wilders, A. Oct. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Carburetting.-A carburettor for use with internal - combustion engines, and in which, except at starting, surface action occurs, is provided with an annular fuel-reservoir 1 surrounding a tubular portion 2, to the lower end of which heated air is supplied. The nozzle 9 is supported by radial arms 8 centrally in a tube 13. The upper end of this tube carries a stopper 14 having a central channel 15 and a hood-shaped portion 16, the space beneath which is connected by vertical borings 7 to the inside of the tube 13 and by oblique passages 18 to the channel 15. When the carburettor is not working, the fuel rises in the channel 15 to the level of that in the reservoir 1. At starting, the fuel in the channel 15 is drawn out by the suction, thus giving a rich mixture, and the level in the tube 13 falls below the lower edge of the channel 15. Normal surface action then occurs, in which air is drawn through the borings 7, over the surface of the fuel in the tube 13, and out through the channel 15. Secondary air is supplied through a passage 25 controlled by a valve 26 adjustably connected to the throttle lever 24. A spherical mixing chamber 30 having a water jacket 31 contains a differential fan having two sets of blades 36, 37 of opposite pitch for mixing the charge and preventing back-firing. It is also provided with an inspection window 38. Condensed fuel flows down to a metal wick 20 contained in a perforated conical lining 19 in the tube 2, and is there evaporated. A tube 40 connects the space immediately above the hood 16 to the fan chamber 30 when the throttle is closed, and supplies the rich mixture for starting.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Cloth Rollers of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: REDMAN THOMAS
IPC: D03D49/20
Filed: 1913-02-21
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 4448. Redman, T. Feb. 21. Rollers.-The cloth beams or rollers of looms are formed with a longitudinal opening in the circumference, and are adapted to be maintained in the expanded condition during the winding- on of the material, or in the contracted condition for the expeditious removal of the wound-up roll by the engagement of keys or like pronged instruments with each end of the roller. The roller is formed of sheet metal in longitudinal sections 1, 2 secured to the shaft 3 either, as shown in Fig. 1, by means of extended internal flanges 1<A>, 2<A>, which are shaped to fit the shaft and are held thereon by a metallic clip C, or, as shown in Fig. 6, by means of short flanges 1<B>, 2<B> engaging a series of disks D attached to the shaft. The parts are further secured bv dipping the roller in a bath of molten solder. The upper edges of the sections 1, 2 are bent over at 6, 7 to form loops adapted to be engaged by either of the pairs of prongs 9, 10 of the keys 8 according as the roller is to be contracted or expanded.

Title: Improved Automatic Time Fuse for Projectiles.
Inventor: LAIRD CHARLES WILLIAM
IPC: F42C9/06
Filed: 1913-03-03
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 5301. Laird, C. W., and Menteyne, P. M. March 3. Projectile fuses.-Relates to time fuses in which the time is determined by the expulsion of a fluid from a cylinder by a piston subjected to air pressure, the firing hammer being released by the piston-rod after the set time, and consists in improvements relating to the piston-rod and hammer, and the outlet orifice. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the piston-rod 6 is normally locked by the hammer 24, which is held by a spring 27 in a notch in the piston-rod. On discharge, centrifugal force causes the hammer to release the piston-rod, the piston 5 is driven forwards by air coming through the orifice 21, and, after the set time, the rod releases the hammer, which is thrown by centrifugal force against a percussion cap 23. The outlet 10 for the fluid contained above the piston in the cylinder 4, leads to an orifice 12 in a conical seat around the cylinder, against which fits a cap 16 provided with a long tapered slot 17, Figs. 1 and 4, for regulating the size of the outlet, and thus setting the time. The cap 16 is locked in the set position by a nut 8, which also closes the cylinder 4. The outer outlets 19 are shielded by a hood 20 directed rearwards.

Abstract: 10,947. Louis, E. S. May 9. Knives, cleaning and polishing. - In knifecleaning machines, of the kind in which the knife blades are rubbed longitudinally by polishing-pads projecting radially or tangentially from the periphery of a rotary drum, the bearing-surface against which the knives are supported is provided with rollers and in some instances is pivoted under the action of springs. Fig. 1 shows one construction in which pads d on the ends of tangential leaf springs carried by the drum b rub against the fixed member a<1> provided with rollers e. The knife is inserted between the pads i, g, and its end may project between the corresponding pads at the other side of the machine. The rollers facilitate the entry of the knife into the machine and also reduce the wear on the pads when the drum is rotated without a knife being inserted. Polishing-powder is introduced through an aperture h<1> formed in the plate that carries the pad g and normallv closed by a slide h<2>. The drum shaft is provided with a crank handle or power gear at one end, and with a pad for cleaning the shoulders of the knives at the other end Fig. 3 shows a modified construction in which the pads d are mounted directly on the drum, and in which the member a<1> is pivoted at j and pressed towards the drum by springs k. The springs are mounted in recesses in the member a<1> and bear against a bridge-piece k<1> carried by the fixed casing. In a modification of this construction, the main casing is circular and the pivoted member a<1> is channel-shaped. Sufficient rollers are mounted in the channel to form the whole bearing-surface for the knifeblade.

Abstract: 5508. Crocker, S. H. March 4. Knot-tying devices.- Comprises a shank n which fits in the centre of a cotton reel and a spring - held pivoted piece c bifurcated to form a flat guide or sheath a and a thread hook b<1> with a sharpened barb. The thread is passed from the reel by a tongue f over a thread - guide d, round the body of the pivoted piece c, and back to one side of the thread-guide. When the free end of the thread is pulled, it causes the piece c to dip and engage the part of the thread nearest the reel and as the thread slips off it, the piece c rises so as to form a loop in the part of the thread held by it; the thread from around the piece c then slips over the loop and a knot is formed. Further pulling tightens the knot and cuts the thread.
